Coraggio

Etymology

From Italian 'coraggio,' derived from Latin 'cor' (heart) like its English cousin 'courage.' The word entered English usage particularly in musical and artistic contexts.

Kelly Says

Italian opera singers and performers loved using this word—it has the same heart-based origin as English 'courage' but sounds way more dramatic when you shout it!
